Who really gives a care?

I am so sick of governments and their so called care for disabled people. They say that they are spending so much of tax payers money on all these different services to help disabled people work and lead productive and independent lives but they are all lies. I have a 19yo disabled son who desperately wants to have a job but instead has been told by this same government that he is not capable of even working one full day for at least another 2 years. I know my son and he is more than capable of working in the right sort of job but they don't listen and they don't care, who are they to think they know better than my son or myself what he can and cant do. I have seen my son accomplish miracles, I was told he would never crawl let alone walk when he was a baby but his last year of school, he not only walked but ran in the schools cross country competition, how would they know if he can work or not if they don't even give him a chance. I have tried to get him a job by going to all the businesses but no one will hire him and without a job seeker number I cant find him anything on the job sites. So any ideas on anything else I could try to get him what he wants?

I really hope so, it would do much for his self esteem but finding some one to give him a chance is not so easy. Thanks.

@sunilmishra7756 Im not sure what "chance knocks at your door once" has to do with my sons situation, I have knocked on the door of every business for a 50km radius of where we live and have not had any luck getting him a job but thank you anyway.

I understand your frustration, I'm at the other side of the fence, even though I would LOVE to work my disability impairs me I have no focus, very short attention span and I forget everything I'm fighting to get my disability ,and your fight is for your son to get a Job. I say keep fighting you'll get help for your Son to get a job we both have to keep fighting it's the only way.

Thanks, I understand only too well, my son gets disability, he is intellectual impaired as well as physical disabilities, a speech problem and he only has hearing in one ear but he wants to be like others and have a job and to go out and make friends, I will keep trying because it is what he wants. Thank you and I hope you get what you want too.
